Luke and Leia take on England

So today was the day, after a very long 6 months of waiting for Luke and Leia to be able to enter the United Kingdom. It's an extremely expensive and lengthy process but it was more then worth it when I saw the dogs today!

So in getting ready I got them all new food and water bowls but they looked a little plain for me for I used some puffy paint and added the little dots and stripes to them. I think they turned out really cute and give them a little bit of uniqueness.

Over the past few weeks I have been so nervous thinking that something would go wrong with the dogs coming over here.

Today was the days after a long time they were on their. Although it didn't go perfect nothing that we couldn't handle.

Austin has to work so I went with my friend Wendy to go and pick them up. I would have been WAY to nervous to drive by myself. So after a long two hour car ride we got to the animal reception center. I told the woman my name and she went to find out how far along they were in the process. She came back staying she had the papers and they were cleared. She just needed to find out where they were and she would bring them out... So after more waiting I turned around and there they were! I was sooooo excited I got all teary eyed.

So after getting the crates loaded into Wendy's car we were on the road! It felt so weird having them with us in the car. We arrived home after over 3 hours(stupid London traffic) we were home just in time to show them their brand new back yard. Much bigger then the one we had at Laughlin. Then Austin got home, they were WAY more excited to see him then they were to me, or at least I think.

But after a REALLY long 6 months the dogs are here in there new home in England! It's gonna make the next 2.5 or more years so much better.
